Arizona Coyotes Jump On Lightning, Win 5-3
The Arizona Coyotes lit the scoreboard up in a big win over Tampa Bay.
You don’t see five goals very often from this incarnation of the Arizona Coyotes.
How sweet it is.
The top line of Tobias Rieder/Martin Hanzal/Radim Vrbata lit up the Lightning, Christian Fischer scored his first NHL goal, and Mike Smith made 44 saves to stave off Tampa Bay in a lopsided third period.
Tobi Rieder got the scoring started early in the first, and he was followed up by Radim Vrbata adding another two minutes later. Both goals were pretty soft, but the Yotes had a rare two goal lead early in the first period.
